Navajo Language Renaissance Announces Launch of the Rosetta Stone Navajo Mobile App
2020年11月9日 - 11:00PM
Rosetta Stone Inc., a division of Cambium Learning Group, Inc.,
and Navajo Language Renaissance announced today the release of the
mobile app for the popular Navajo language-learning software in use
by Navajo in language revitalization. Though Navajo is the
most-spoken Native American language north of Mexico (still spoken
by more than 100,000 people), its use and fluency among younger
generations is in dramatic decline. According to the U.S. Census
Bureau, only 50 percent of Navajo ages 17 and under were able to
speak their native language at all in 2000. The Rosetta Stone
Navajo mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android will be available
for use in Navajo Nation schools, homes and chapter houses in an
effort to help reverse this decline.
The Rosetta Stone Navajo mobile app will be sold through Navajo
Language Renaissance, a nonprofit group of Navajo educators from
the tri-state area of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. The original CD
and online version of the software was released in 2010, with the
endorsements of the Department of Diné Education and the Navajo
Board of Education. More than one hundred Navajo contributed to the
project by providing language expertise, photos, audio recordings
and logistical and cultural support. All proceeds from the sale of
the software go toward future initiatives to revitalize the Navajo
language.
Rosetta Stone has developed software for several indigenous
languages, including Chitimacha, Iñupiaq, Mohawk, Inuttitut, and
Chickasaw.
